I have been very fortunate to discover short story collections over the last year or two. They were never something I sought out and a genre that I never came up on my radar. Luckily, short story collections are now in my life and I’m enjoying it. Immensely.
We Love Anderson Cooper includes a range of stories that were consistently enjoyable and encompass a wide range of topics. My favorite was Couch. A therapist believes her success is owed to a worn out and tear stained couch in her office. When it finally collapses during a session, Penelope is forced to find a new couch. After struggling to find the perfect replacement, Penelope finally wanders into a strange little boutique where she discovers what she’s been looking for. With no sales person in sight, Penelope tries several times to purchase the couch with little success until she finally encounters someone who seems to work at the shop. After much begging and haggling, Penelope is finally able to make a deal on the couch-in return for a donation to an animal shelter, Penelope can have the couch. The new couch seems to have magical ability to make all of her clients realize their problems and gives them the confidence to pursue new goals and make a positive change in their lives. Will it have the same power on Penelope? Will Penelope be able to move on from her divorce and the separation of her beloved dogs?
It was so good. Death, divorce, loneliness, compassion, confidence, it’s all in this one little story. That’s what I love about short stories-their ability to pack such a large punch is so few words.
Coming out, loss, loneliness, religion, betrayal and jealousy can all be found within the pages of this short but powerful collection. Compelling and engaging, We Love Anderson Cooper will stay on your mind long after you leave it’s pages.
